Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2557731A1] The embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system for an intermediate node to locate a fault independently, where the intermediate node serves to forward a packet between a first end node and a second end node. The method includes: creating a test packet and sending the test packet to the first end node, where the test packet protects address information of the second end node, and the test packet is used to trigger the first end node to send a response packet to the second end node; forwarding the response packet from the first end node to the second end node; capturing the response packet; and analyzing, according to a result of the packet capturing, whether a packet from the first end node to the second end node can be forwarded normally. In a networking scenario with mixed devices of a plurality of vendors, the technical solution of the present invention enables an intermediate node of a single vendor to locate a fault, thereby improving maintenance efficiency against faults and ensuring data transmission quality.
